Going to Philadelphia? Then ditch the guidebook and
follow these famous locals as they show you the City of Brotherly
Love their way. -
Dawn Staley
Head coach of women's basketball at Temple
University, former USA Women's National Team member, and former
WNBA star
"One of the spots I love most in Philly is Tangerine, down in Old
City. The ambience is very cool - it's got a pretty hip lounge
area, and the dining room is nice. I almost never get to eat there,
though, because of my schedule. But [when I do], Tangerine has me
covered. They have an amazing arugula salad, and they're happy to
make it to go for me. If you're always on the move like I am, this
is your place."
Rich Hofmann
Sports columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News
"I love places where you can sit at the bar and have an early
dinner and just hang out, and Amici Noi invites it. The Italian
menu is simple and excellent; the soups are homemade. When you're
wandering around Old City on a cold Saturday afternoon, just
checking out the world and absorbing Philly's history, this is the
perfect pit stop."
Phil Martelli
Head coach of men's basketball at Saint Joseph's
University
"Make a stop at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.
The structure was modeled after the Lombard Church of Saint Charles
in Rome, and it dates back to 1846. It's absolutely stunning - one
of Philadelphia's true treasures. Go there and find yourself
refreshed by its beauty."
